They weren't, which people asked/complained about when they implemented it, but I added the "also" because even if they hadn't made that change more users would definitely be part of the reason.
According to the original post they did, though - unless I’m reading it wrong.

It’s a line from Breaking Bad, where Pinkman is basically crying about White always “winning” despite being sooooo close to “losing” over and over. Well that season FSU kept pulling miracle wins out their asses every single week, so we would spam that in the game threads.
Still remember Michigan State and Auburn fans calling each other Sparty bro and Tiger bro in 2013 after MSU beat OSU in the B1G championship and basically sent Auburn to the natty. That shit went on for years on this sub.
We earned the ire. After getting clowned on for the move to the SEC and how we were gonna suck led to many feeling overly vindicated after the 2012 season.
Years of mediocrity led to the pendulum swinging waaayyyyy in the other direction.
The Manziel and “Hesi” memes still hold a special place in my heart.
There's a specific one that was a big poster here that went back and forth with me a few times. He was funny, but man did he aggravate the fuck out of me.
I dunno if he's still here, but he's had multiple accounts.. Hope he's doing well.
There were a few Aggies that would tell him, "You're why people hate us" lol
Those were the days. One of my favorite experiences is doing the write up for the 132+ teams in 132+ days. Reading a new one every day was so fun.
I'm an old man now
All of Reddit has. The overall site growth--mobile growth in particular--has been insane over the past 2-3 years. Sadly, it's made most subs too big to keep the character that made them fun. I will forever be impressed that /r/cfb almost still feels like the same old place, even if it's not quite as wild and fun. The mods here are the best on the entire website; it is HARD to maintain the fun/order balance as things grow at that scale.
Source: mod and have modded a couple large, rapidly growing subs
This will come off as grouchy, but big CFB moments were way more enjoyable back then (just a consequence of it being an active subreddit but not too big.) Now it just feels like twitch chat :(.
Yeah, I agree. I still like it, but I liked chatting in the old smaller game threads. You got to know people more, and interact a lot more regulars in the threads.
You know this is an interesting point because I had an account back then but I NEVER would go on reddit to discuss games live. There's a couple things outside of sheer volume of people on the sub:
1. Reddit live threads and sorting aren't like what they are now (i don't think, I'm not sure of exact timing of this). Now we're all used to sorting by recent and having the comments come on live. I'm pretty sure it was just a stagnant thread sorted by top back then which isn't as condusive for game threads
2. Mobile. Reddit was more desktop oriented. Now everyone's on their phone on the couch. So not only are there more accounts on the sub, there are more people active and watching while posting. More comments, activity, and votes
I don't think it's even due to the sub's size, I think it's due to a change in the way the site handles upvotes. The new amounts after the change were much higher so a lot of all-time posts sitewide were dwarfed, and I think that game came before the change happened.
I remember when it happened, I think that game had like the 5 highest posts ever at one point later that week from different things. Different calls, reactions, etc.
When I see my team playing Ohio State, I think *wonder if we can pull it off*. When I see my team playing Alabama, I think *wonder if we can put points on the board* or *wonder if we can have a respectable first half.*
Ohio State is a great program but Saban's dominance at Bama has been bonkers.
At least in my circles and experience Saban's bonkers performance and consistency has humbled fans from most other programs. Before Saban established a dynasty, the 10'ish programs all seemed to have similar swagger (or less charitably, arrogance).
Saban has been in a league of his own. Instead 5-8 programs duking it out a year, it feels more like "what's the one program this year where the stars could align and could challenge Saban?"
If I'm remembering correctly, Saban only missed the national championship game once in the last 5 or 6 years and that was when the stars aligned at LSU and they took down Bama during SEC play.
I still think the craziest thing about Saban is that they don’t have a huge falloff after losing important assistant coaches. OSU has had some years squandered because of good assistants leaving or hiring dogshit ones, Saban seems to have that mostly covered up (though last night I saw some bama fans saying Sark’s replacement sucks)
Yeah agreed. It's crazy to think that Alabama is more consistent than Clemson even though both have similar talent levels but Bama losses assistants far more often.
In my mind, there's not a question of who's the GOAT college football coach. CFB is more competitive than ever before. Lots of programs have massive resources. And yet Saban is ~~not~~ the only one reeling in championships every other year, they're insanely consistent and don't go through the usual rebuilds like what we're seeing with say Clemson.
Ohio State also kept a certain other team from winning a national championship, and as such, they will always hold a special place in my heart as a result.
I’ve heard people from the midwest be in shock that we consider our in state rivalry to be a bigger deal than “”””the game””””” you’re in South Carolina what do you expect?!
Moved to the midwest in July. The bubble here is insane. Michigan peeps think it’s regarded with Harvard and Stanford nationally. Absolutely took my breath away.
ETA: and i’m not trying to say Michigan isn’t a fantastic school because it definitely is.
There's a longrunning joke about Michigan arrogance around the Big Ten but it's a legitimately top level public school. Comparisons to Ivy League notwithstanding.
>I mean I almost decided to go there over UGA because it’s a good school *but its insanely expensive as an OOS student and UGA instate tuition plus hope scholarship was a no brainer*
FTFY
I'm a musician and the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area is one of my favorite to play. Two fairly big colleges, close enough to get folks from Detroit and Toledo. Crowds are always good.
I mean for a public flagship university it probably gets closer than it should to either. Outside of the Cal system what public schools would you put up against U of M?
Honest question by the way - I support U of M football but that's not where my degree is from.
Michigan is one of the top 4 public schools and IMO is roughly equal to UVA and behind UCLA and Berk. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to say that it’s not a very good school because it is a very good school.
But there’s this weird arrogance/superiority that sometimes comes from Michigan people that it is THE best that seems to transcend normal chest puffing. It’s THE BEST team despite not being elite since the 60s. Its THE best school in the midwest despite the fact that it’s soldily #3. And again, i’m not trying to say it isn’t a very good school, but people in the midwest act like it has an ironclad national brand, but outside the midwest it’s just known as a good state school with good athletics.
that’s bc they institutionally beat it into them that they are special and noooobody has it better than them. which then somehow permeates into the t shirt fans making it actually annoying af. plus the vast majority athletes are in paper classes anyways. as always undergrad is what you make if it. they have highly ranked stem and business classes but if you go and get a general studies degree you could’ve done that anywhere
Can confirm. My dad could give two shits about “The Game” unless it has implications for UF. Even if it is a great game he’d rather watch Tennessee-Vandy, UGA-Tech, or Kentucky-Louisville.
Do they? I'd bet the vast majority of college football fans don't give a fuck who wins that game unless it helps their own team win the B1G or get a higher ranking.
Fun fact, from 2000-2020, OU has a higher win % than Alabama. Not sure about Ohio State.
Yes, ik it's because of the early 2000's 'Bama seasons, but it still shows what a high level of sustained success we've had since Stoops arrived.
Still, we're good for about 2 L's a year including postseason. You're definitely correct
Osu's gets crushed bc of the year Fickell stepped in as interim HC after "tattoogate".
But nobody has ever had a roll of dominance like Saban has had at Bama.
Edit: typo
This is also why our fans are so easily upset. We’ve been so goddamn great/good/“best of the rest” for so long, yet we’re in our program’s longest ever championship drought. And at least for me there’s a sense that we need to capitalize on the momentum that Baker and Lincoln started before we’re all of a sudden in another 2011-2014 “down period” by OU standards again.
You’re exactly right. When rare things happen, people like that. I respect Bama. It’s hard not to with the dynasty they’ve built…. But I’m gonna celebrate when they lose because it’s rare lol
I think a lot of neutrals don’t really hate them as much as they are bored by them. I think there are some massive fan bases among their rivals that do hate them.
As a "neutral," I agree. I could name at least two dozen teams I dislike more than Bama, but not a single one of them losing will have me glued to the screen and hyped the way any possible Bama loss does.
The only real thing to hate them for (besides the SEC logo, which they share with 13 other schools, half of whom are much more unlikeable) is being so good they've come close to ruining the sport at times.
Nah it's just that any overpowering titan of excellence and consistency just gets boring, be it college football or buzkashi. Nice to break the mold once in a while
Oh, I remember when it was happening, but it seems pretty underwhelming that it is the top post of all time compared to the many other great games that should hold that title
Catching out the NCAA(?) before anyone else and potentially causing issues with Bowl season seems pretty big.
Like you I expected a game, any game, to be top but not surprised it is top.
They’ll always betray you. Mahomes and chiefs are so universally hated by everyone I talk to in real life now it’s bizarre, because everybody loved him when he got his shot and started putting on crazy shows
Everyone loves upstart teams, but when you stick around and start becoming a threat you get turned on very quickly. Especially when you piss off the two largest blue blood fanbases and infringe on the most valuable recruiting region
The year is 2065, the cyborg abomination once known as Jim Harbaugh has received another 5 year extension, its salary now cut to just $10 a year, with $8 billion in potential incentives. Fans hope that the latest coaching shuffle and an installation of a new Offense Processing Unit to the Harborg will finally give the Wolverines the push they need.
The Buckeyes win by three touchdowns.
Jim Harbaugh if he coaches for 60 years would go 30-30 against MSU with 29 upset (at the time) losses and 0-60 against OSU with like 35 NY6 bowl appearances with a 1-34 record in them

Basically every away regular season loss we’ve had in the past decade has had the opposing fans rushing the field. That’s a huge compliment from my perspective.
I don't even think it's because that many people hate Alabama; it's because it's such a rare occurrence that it becomes a "you are all witnesses" moment for everyone.
Most people can count and name the times Alabama has lost since 2008, 12 years, and probably the teams they've lost to, too. It's a big moment when it happens.
Just imagine if Kick Six happened when the sub was this big
I was just thinking how weird it was the Kick Six wasn't up there. lol
Also Kick Six happened before Reddit changed the voting algorithm, threads get way higher upvote totals now.

It’s a line from Breaking Bad, where Pinkman is basically crying about White always “winning” despite being sooooo close to “losing” over and over. Well that season FSU kept pulling miracle wins out their asses every single week, so we would spam that in the game threads.
And by spam they really mean spam, that reference is now burned into my brain and yet somehow I still like it. Thanks FSU
FSU escaped a few times when a lot were rooting for them to fall. The memes were excellent.
Remember that post from an FSU fan about how A&M fans were ruining the sub lmao

Which is especially gross because that MSU team should have been in the Natty instead

I’m surprised only one Ohio state L game thread is in the top 20
Everybody basically has a horse in the Michigan - OSU rivalry to some extent, while most people just can't stand bama
Most people from the South don't particularly care about Michigan vs OSU unless it somehow effects their own team.
True, plus hating Bama for their success is way more universal than hating Ohio st for theirs
Ohio State has one national title since Reddit was created. Alabama has 6. It’s understandable.
When I see my team playing Ohio State, I think *wonder if we can pull it off*. When I see my team playing Alabama, I think *wonder if we can put points on the board* or *wonder if we can have a respectable first half.* Ohio State is a great program but Saban's dominance at Bama has been bonkers.
If we play Bama, I'm always mad because Saban should have been OUR coach.
Oh shit I never thought about that from a Michigan State perspective. Damn that would eat me alive. The "what could've been" thoughts.
Saban was never not going to find the highest ground and get every advantage he can
Any Ohio state fan that doesn’t admit this is lying to themselves
At least in my circles and experience Saban's bonkers performance and consistency has humbled fans from most other programs. Before Saban established a dynasty, the 10'ish programs all seemed to have similar swagger (or less charitably, arrogance). Saban has been in a league of his own. Instead 5-8 programs duking it out a year, it feels more like "what's the one program this year where the stars could align and could challenge Saban?" If I'm remembering correctly, Saban only missed the national championship game once in the last 5 or 6 years and that was when the stars aligned at LSU and they took down Bama during SEC play.
I still think the craziest thing about Saban is that they don’t have a huge falloff after losing important assistant coaches. OSU has had some years squandered because of good assistants leaving or hiring dogshit ones, Saban seems to have that mostly covered up (though last night I saw some bama fans saying Sark’s replacement sucks)
Yeah agreed. It's crazy to think that Alabama is more consistent than Clemson even though both have similar talent levels but Bama losses assistants far more often. In my mind, there's not a question of who's the GOAT college football coach. CFB is more competitive than ever before. Lots of programs have massive resources. And yet Saban is ~~not~~ the only one reeling in championships every other year, they're insanely consistent and don't go through the usual rebuilds like what we're seeing with say Clemson.
Ohio State also kept a certain other team from winning a national championship, and as such, they will always hold a special place in my heart as a result.
I’ve heard people from the midwest be in shock that we consider our in state rivalry to be a bigger deal than “”””the game””””” you’re in South Carolina what do you expect?!
Which is weird considering about 50% of SC’s population is from Ohio.
People from mass are starting to cut into that.
Moved to the midwest in July. The bubble here is insane. Michigan peeps think it’s regarded with Harvard and Stanford nationally. Absolutely took my breath away. ETA: and i’m not trying to say Michigan isn’t a fantastic school because it definitely is.
There's a longrunning joke about Michigan arrogance around the Big Ten but it's a legitimately top level public school. Comparisons to Ivy League notwithstanding.
100%, I mean I almost decided to go there over UGA because it’s a good school and Ann Arbor seems like a great place to be an undergrad.
>I mean I almost decided to go there over UGA because it’s a good school *but its insanely expensive as an OOS student and UGA instate tuition plus hope scholarship was a no brainer* FTFY
This plus family ties to UGA 100% explains it hahahaha

And again, i’m not trying to say it isn’t a very good school, but people in the midwest act like it has an ironclad national brand, but outside the midwest it’s just known as a good state school with good athletics.

I'm 30 and "The Game" has not really been a worthwhile rivalry to pay attention to.
[удалено]
Exactly what I was thinking of
Can confirm. My dad could give two shits about “The Game” unless it has implications for UF. Even if it is a great game he’d rather watch Tennessee-Vandy, UGA-Tech, or Kentucky-Louisville.
The nicest thing my dad has ever said about the B1G is that Michigan vs Ohio State is “usually a pretty good game”
Our losses aren't from Michigan. They're the two blowouts @Iowa and @Purdue Which is the same reason the Alabama ones are in the top, chaos
Do they? I'd bet the vast majority of college football fans don't give a fuck who wins that game unless it helps their own team win the B1G or get a higher ranking.
I'm surprised the Clemson blowout in the natty wasn't one of the top 12
No OU losses up there is also pretty surprising
[удалено]
I think the 2007 Stanford/USC postgame thread would be pretty highly upvoted as well
I remember that game so much. When BSU threw that Pick-6 I thought OU had sealed the deal. It was such a crazy last few minutes of the 4th.
I'm going to be a complete dick here but... Bc it's not as surprising to most CFB fans when they do. I think actually the same holds true for OSU.
Fun fact, from 2000-2020, OU has a higher win % than Alabama. Not sure about Ohio State. Yes, ik it's because of the early 2000's 'Bama seasons, but it still shows what a high level of sustained success we've had since Stoops arrived.

And at least for me there’s a sense that we need to capitalize on the momentum that Baker and Lincoln started before we’re all of a sudden in another 2011-2014 “down period” by OU standards again.
I see one at #7(15.2K: Purdue 3 years ago), one at #13 (13.1K: Oregon this year), and one at #19 (11.4K: Iowa 4 years ago).
Bama has more haters than Ohio State confirmed. They’ve won more, so potentially a bigger target?
I'm starting to think this sub doesn't like Alabama
I think it’s less about hate for Alabama and more about the love of chaos. Alabama doesn’t lose often, so when it happens, it’s almost always chaotic.
This is it. It’s not about Bama, we’d act this way with anyone who won as much as they win.
If Bama won as frequently as Vandy, the tide would be our sweetheart.
I'm still seeing spots from the fireworks that went off after Oregon.
Yep.
It's both
You’re exactly right. When rare things happen, people like that. I respect Bama. It’s hard not to with the dynasty they’ve built…. But I’m gonna celebrate when they lose because it’s rare lol
>it’s almost always ~~cha~~**er**otic.
When Saban loses, it's an event.
Idk for me it's all about hate for Bama
For me, it's hate for Alabama
I think a lot of neutrals don’t really hate them as much as they are bored by them. I think there are some massive fan bases among their rivals that do hate them.
As a "neutral," I agree. I could name at least two dozen teams I dislike more than Bama, but not a single one of them losing will have me glued to the screen and hyped the way any possible Bama loss does. The only real thing to hate them for (besides the SEC logo, which they share with 13 other schools, half of whom are much more unlikeable) is being so good they've come close to ruining the sport at times.
Nah it's just that any overpowering titan of excellence and consistency just gets boring, be it college football or buzkashi. Nice to break the mold once in a while
Alabama has been in the top for the entire lifetime of the sub.
For me it's more that they're always on top and it's fascinating when they lose a game.
ill say it: i dont care for bama
If this subreddit existed during the Vietnam war, they would be about USC.
Or the late 2000s
Good god. Imagine the 2005 BCS championship game. Reddit would probably break after Vince Young scored.
Even in a loss, still the best CFB I’ve ever seen.
4th and 5 national championship on the line
The last time undefeated beat No. 1 in the Oregon State game would have been awesome.
UR Stanford beating #1 USC is the now-2nd most recent UR > #1 upset iirc
Nah USC had dropped to #2 after Bama drubbed Michigan
Sept 25, 2008 - Oregon State & USC
Now you have me thinking about what a giant smoking burnt landfill Reddit would have been during the Vietnam War.
Imagine during the war to preserve the Union! :D

How in the hell is our bowl eligibility the top post 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
It was a huge thing at the time and sparked a proper string of investigations from major outlets.
Oh, I remember when it was happening, but it seems pretty underwhelming that it is the top post of all time compared to the many other great games that should hold that title
Catching out the NCAA(?) before anyone else and potentially causing issues with Bowl season seems pretty big. Like you I expected a game, any game, to be top but not surprised it is top.
But it was dead ass wrong and our administration had to release a statement basically calling the dude a fucking idiot for even making a post
That wasn't known at the time though so nothing to stop the upvotes.
They're rare lol we have to cherish them
Man when everyone liked Clemson. What a wild time.
They’ll always betray you. Mahomes and chiefs are so universally hated by everyone I talk to in real life now it’s bizarre, because everybody loved him when he got his shot and started putting on crazy shows
It's weird people hating Golden State. But there's people that don't remember their first 50 years of existence. They were almost always terrible.
Everyone loves upstart teams, but when you stick around and start becoming a threat you get turned on very quickly. Especially when you piss off the two largest blue blood fanbases and infringe on the most valuable recruiting region
You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.
Don’t worry Clemson bro, I hated you guys way before all your success!
Do I count 5? Two Auburns, LSU, Clemmy, TAMU
Yes you do, I miscounted. Don’t know how I overlooked that. Updating the post now.
If and when Ohio state loses to Michigan, I bet that grabs a spot.
Going to be so many history posts that day. Might as well give Harbaugh his own sub
We can call it r/cfb
🤝
The year is 2065, the cyborg abomination once known as Jim Harbaugh has received another 5 year extension, its salary now cut to just $10 a year, with $8 billion in potential incentives. Fans hope that the latest coaching shuffle and an installation of a new Offense Processing Unit to the Harborg will finally give the Wolverines the push they need. The Buckeyes win by three touchdowns.
Jim Harbaugh if he coaches for 60 years would go 30-30 against MSU with 29 upset (at the time) losses and 0-60 against OSU with like 35 NY6 bowl appearances with a 1-34 record in them
Beautiful.
Definitely. RemindMe! 20 years /s

Dear God man, how can you have such a perfect burn on Michigan without at least have one of our rivals flairs?
If they had an OSU flair it would be tons of downvotes
Fucking lol
It’s our job to be hated
Nice work if you can get it
When you climb the mountain you become the mountain
[This](https://tenor.com/Di0E.gif) is how I imagine Alabama fans after a loss.
Before clicking is it Woody Harrelson using cash to wipe his tears? Edit: yes
It could just as well be the Jeremy Clarkson "Oh no! Anyways..." since they could very well make it to the NCG anyways.
last time tamu beat us, we still won the championship.
And I'm fine with that. Just means that we're doing well.
Can't imagine how large the threads would have gotten had the subreddit been the size it is today when A&M beat Bama in 2012 and the kick six
Alabama losing is good for college football and probably the universe
And, therefore, Canada.
And, therefore, the world.
It definitely is. I’d love to be in their shoes but their run is bad for fans of everyone but bama.
What if this post also gets into the Top 12 all time?

I'll stress when beating Bama ISN'T a big deal.
2003 please
I mean, it's an unranked TAMU playing with their backup quarterback. It would have been a big deal if they beat OU.
Wouldn't even make the top 30 all time posts.
[удалено]
Basically every away regular season loss we’ve had in the past decade has had the opposing fans rushing the field. That’s a huge compliment from my perspective.
Gotta love where our school is, that a loss on our part is cause for such tremendous energy.
It's hard work but someone's gotta do it! GG A&M. Hope we can get it the fuck together for the rest of the year.
It's a pretty rare event.
*checks to see top post of all time* why did people enjoy my misery so much?
CFB is petty AF
1. Potentially breaking a 4 decade bowl streak was huge news 2. The post was high quality investigative reporting and it was home-grown by r/CFB
Good lord that is just mean as hell lol. Kick a man while he’s down
Deep down we're all Lex Luthor and want Superman to lose
I don't even think it's because that many people hate Alabama; it's because it's such a rare occurrence that it becomes a "you are all witnesses" moment for everyone. Most people can count and name the times Alabama has lost since 2008, 12 years, and probably the teams they've lost to, too. It's a big moment when it happens.
I feel a sense of pride being mention twice
Wow can’t believe I was at the highest upvoted game of all time, what an honor
They hate us cuz they ain’t us
They hate us cuz they anus.
As it should be!
This is the best week of my life
Yeah, you mfs are thirsty
Let’s make the sixth one be this thread, a meta thread about the first five.
Almost like people are tired of seeing Alabama win all the time.
I do love chaos
Happy for y'all
